Weekly Options USA has published 1,022 closed weekly options positions since 2020: 882 with a potential gain, 135 with a potential loss and 5 flat. Each position was published as a trade alert before it closed, and every result, including losses, remains on the public record.
These figures represent potential results calculated using our published tracking method, not returns achieved by members. All positions are tracked on paper using actual market price data, including delayed quotes. Our methodology page explains how results are calculated, including the best available price and the stop.
